CM to open 2 more sections of Ring Road - Lahore_Real_Estate - 04-21-2010 11:14 AM
LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif will inaugurate package-8 and package-9 of the landmark Lahore Ring Road project on Wednesday. The eco-friendly project would serve as an impressive gateway to the provincial metropolis, and its signal-free corridor will streamline the flow of traffic in the city.The project was necessitated by a rapid increase of traffic, which put an increased pressure on the existing network of roads in the city.A segmental approach has been followed for the completion of the Ring Road Project, as it was not possible to undertake the construction of the entire road in one go, due to site and resource constraints. The road from Harbanspura Canal Crossing to Airport Access Road has been constructed under package-8 of the project, at a cost of Rs 1524.87 million. It consists of a main carriageway, service roads, a flyover and a pedestrian bridge. The work on package-8 was initiated on January 15, 2009. staff report
